Missile Hangar & Conning Tower

Just run forward through the Missile Hangar heading south. There are no items to find, so just run until another cut scene interrupts you temporarily. After the cut scene, Dwarf Gekkos show up and clog the walkway. You can stop and shoot 'em up, or just dive roll through the lot to get past them.

Another lengthy cut scene interrupts the run for a while, and afterward Snake is challenged to move through the microwave tunnel. Push forward while continually tapping TRIANGLE as fast as you can to replenish your health against the draining effects of the microwave. Make sure you don't touch the prongs that stick out of the walls—graze one and you'll take a large chunk of damage, making the crawl even more difficult. Make it to the end and you'll earn another lengthy cut scene.

You've reached Snake's final battle, a straight-up fist fight with Liquid Ocelot. There are no guns, just CQC, and the controls are slightly changed. Press SELECT to check the updated controls—the most important additions are the dodge and guard buttons. As Liquid charges toward you, hold L1 to block most of the damage from his shots. Tapping sideways or backwards in conjunction with X will let you dodge evasively, but defense isn't all there is to this fight.
